Fress Bold Fresh Flavours From A Jewish Kitchen Emma Spitzer MasterChef Finalist Cookbook Book

Fress: Bold, Fresh Flavours from a Jewish Kitchen is a vibrant hardcover cookbook for home cooks, food lovers, teachers of culinary arts, and anyone curious about Jewish cuisine with a modern twist. Perfect for parents planning family meals or gift buyers seeking a standout present, this book brings together Ashkenazic and Sephardic traditions with bold, fresh flavours that are both accessible and exciting.

In Fress, Emma Spitzer—a 2015 finalist on Britain’s MasterChef—shares a collection of recipes that celebrate travel, family stories, and a melting pot of Jewish culinary heritage. The author’s approachable, unfussy style focuses on getting the most flavour from simple ingredients without long, intimidating techniques. Think lush vegetable plates, fragrant spice blends, and sociable dishes designed for sharing.

This hardcover edition includes recipes inspired by Poland, Russia, Israel, Egypt, Jordan, North Africa and Algerian family favourites. The book balances tradition and innovation: smoky, slow-cooked stews sit alongside bright, herb-filled salads and vegetable-forward plates evocative of Yotam Ottolenghi’s aesthetic—vegetables that look as handsome as they taste. The Washington Post praised the striking photography and styling that make even beef-stuffed artichokes look irresistible.
